Father’s Day is a time to celebrate our fathers. Common words to associate with our Fathers are as follows: Father, Dad, Papa, and Daddy. We are creating song lists for all words.

This list is for the word Papa. All of the top 10 Papa Songs have the word papa in the title of the song.

Papa is one of the least popular words to call our fathers, it is still popular enough to add to a song list.

My top papa songs feature several music styles from Rock, Country, Pop, Jazz, Funk, and R&B.

Discover different music eras from 1954 through today.
